I'm going to compromise and try it fill it on the weekend, I will keep everyone updated though. Going to pick up the bulk heads and plumbing material today.

Okay, I lied and decided to do the transfer last night when I had hired help. Between me and my room mate it took from 5pm until 3am in the morning but everything is swapped out. I was a little apprehensive as the tank was only built a week ago but everything went right to plan and all of the seals look 100%. Best part about it was when I was emptying my sump I found my long lost lawnmower blenny who had been missing for about a month now.

Will grab new photos when I re-aqua scape everything but here is a few intermediate steps





Its crazy what you find when you do a tank tare down, in all I found 3 completely rusted razor blades and this:

Is it alive or has it passed on?

Wow those are some crazy long legs on that guy! Yeah love the recessed details in your threatre-room ceiling. Nice touch!

How do you plan on skinning your stand? Perhaps I missed that bit.

Nope he's 100% alive and kicking, cleaning the tank as I write this.

Thanks, I do enjoy the pad it works really well for me.

Going to go the easy route and use black cloth/ velcro for now.

These photos are still a little merky with a basic aqua scape done (I already know that it will be changed shortly ). Fish seem to love it, really funny to see fish that have been staring at each other through the glass for a year finally meet.
